The BirmfnGha n and Atlantic Air
L1ne, BfrniaGham, Georgia and
Florida and Macon and LaGrange
% Fail Observation-Disclosures BE
tween sbe OMcials-What IL Being
Done
Mr. ]. A A. West returned yesterday from
Atlanta whe;e be has been attending railroad
meeting which will probably result in the con-
solidstion Of large and important interests
The Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line is now
building between Savannah and Birmingham
and the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida, from
Birmingham through Southwest Georgia into
FLORIDA. The Macon, LaGrange and Birming-
ham people are considering the advisability Of
building line parallel to the Birmingham and
Atlantic Air Line. The road has been rival of
the Air Line from the beginning, but il is proba-
bic that the days Of rivalry are past.
TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR INTEREST,"
The subject OF the meeting was 10 discuss the
advis.fsiIiiy sf es.s~i'de,inE all the various in
feresfs and drive cut rivalry by operating under
one company. The Macon, LaGrange and Biz
ninghAm cannot sdvIsedly build line if the Air
Line IL pat through, yet the Air Line would be
greatly benefited If 1t had the assistance instead
Of the opposition Of the Macon, LaGrange and
Birmingham people. The Birmingham, Georgia
and Florida will build east TO the Chattahoochee
river, crossing ct West Point, but if they run the
line little further north, 80 as to the river
higher up, the Air Line could use its track from
the Chaitshoochee TO Birmingham, and thus save
tbs building of about eighty miles of road, while
the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida would not
increase the length Of their line but few miles
A consolidation would therefore be TO the inter-
esss of al, for the projectors of the Birmingham,
Georgia and Florida would have An outlet to
deep water, which is the great desideratum in
Birmingham, much sooner than otherwise. The
Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham would get
into the field, and the Air Line would receive
hsDefh from both.

Fashion has brought many changes in
horse breeding among American farmers,
and no race has SET the new style more
iorcibly or to larger purpose than the
American trotting horse, The American
Irotler is a horse capable of every service !;
there is, in almost literal truth. no limit to
the speed in which he can trot one mile,
and his capacity of endurance, whereof
such contests are most eXacting proof is
accepted as a fact in the minds of all OBJ
servant men, while his patient temper, and
good size, combined with the extraordinary
with which trne systems of
breeding have endowed him, render him an
exceedingly valuable animal for any work
oflabor and rontine.
The farmer who is looking forward to
improvement in his stock, must be careful
in making selection Of his breeding animals,
and, herein, il is of the utmost importance
that the sire chosen be an available, yalu-
able, and in every respect, choice animal,
possessing individually and acestrally the
best qualities which the offspring is desired
TO possess.
